THE SACRAMENTO AREA LESBIAN HEALTH RESOURCE GUIDE IS FUNDED BY...
Using this guide does not mean that you will never again be asked, “What kind of birth control are you using?” But we hope it will mean you’ll find these providers to be non-homophobic, non-judgmental, supportive, and respectful of your sexual orientation. If you know additional LGBT-friendly services, please refer them to us! There is no cost to be listed, and we welcome everyone who identifies as LGBT-friendly.
A few disclaimers:
- For simplicity’s sake, we use the term “lesbian” to encompass all women (and transgender people) who partner with women. This includes lesbians, bisexual women, and transgender persons in our community. Our intent is to simplify, not to exclude. Several bisexual and transgender people, as well as many gay men and straight allies, have been instrumental in ensuring the guide’s success.
- Health information contained in this guide is not a substitute for medical advice. Readers are urged to consult a health care provider about health questions or problems.
- Inclusion in the guide is not an endorsement of particular health providers or organizations by CDP or the Health Education Council.
- Although every provider or organization listed has self-identified as lesbian-sensitive, if you do have a negative or homophobic encounter with a provider or organization listed here, please let us know so we can remove them from the guide.
- Every effort has been made to ensure the guide is as accurate as possible; however, please let us know if there is a listing that needs to be corrected or added.
Again, we hope this resource guide will encourage you to take a more active role in your own health and to seek a provider who meets your needs. Please e-mail us at info@saclesbianhealth.com to let us know how we're doing.
To our health!
